Here is a funny message my friend Sam said to A/S/L?, the other candidate, in context of him being angry and name calling:
You seem angry. If you ever feel like talking or processing some of your feelings, please let me know. Also, I wanted to provide you with some strategies (both proactive and coping) to help you feel better when you are angry.
Proactive Strategies: 1. Identify how you are feeling! Are you angry or you mad or are you sad? Giving feelings a name is crucial in dealing with them in an appropriate manner. 2. You should emphasis on "I" statements. For example, "I feel angry when...." instead of an accusatory tone. It makes the other person feel not so good and it makes it very difficult in really resolving the problem. 3. Try to focus on the positive! Think about all the people who care and support you in your day to day affairs! 4. Try not to take things personally. People are people. Some people we get along while others are more difficult in our dealings with.
Calming Menu (Coping Skills) 1. Read a book, write a poem, or journal. These are all great ways to calm down when you are angry. 2. Take a walk, ride a bike, or exercise. Sometimes we need to get our mind off of the problem until we calm enough to find a resolution. 3. Call a friend, send an e-mail, or go to a coffee shop (to socialize). Social networks and various friends can help us process our feelings.
I am sure you have additional strategies you may want to use. I hope this helps. I also forgive you for the name-calling. I am sure you were just angry, and you did not mean what you typed.
Sincerely,
SammySinful

Isn't Sam your brother ? Or is it Paul ? Sam is my brother-in-law and friend. I consider him my closest of friends.
